About this Guide

Citation Guide: American Psychological Association (APA)

For the most part, the APA style documentation system is used in the social and natural sciences such as Psychology, Sociology, and Anthropology. It is not exclusive, however, and is often used in fields of study ranging from Business to Biology.

This guide contains information on how to format the document, incorporate in-text citations, and develop the References list. This guide is far from exhaustive and for more information or resources on APA format, see the sixth edition of the APA Publication Manual or visit the Additional Resources page.
